Wouldn't you know this company was probably the inventor of the 'teabag'? Seriously. I looked it up in Wikipedia. The particular brand has been around since the late 1800's and is quite popular in its country of origin, along with such tasty dishes as 'Toad in a Hole, 'Bubbles and Leeks', and 'Spotted Dick'. The colloquial expression arose much earlier, so is of no serious consequence there.
On the other side of the globe, my spouse refers to the implied eyebrows raising wink, wink with his explanation of the derivation of the improper but popular term there for 'Mister H' and yes, that had nothing to do at all with the despotic Austrian dictator and mass murderer.
Bubble and squeak you mean. Which can be made with leeks, when I lived there they said leek bubble and squeak to differentiate it from the standard cabbage.
Very nice to , it`s the thought that counts . ;-)

DeleteDoes that mean that the tea has medicinal properties?
ReplyDeleteDoes Mrs. Grumpy like tea?
ReplyDeleteWhich reminds me, Huma Abedin is back on the dating scene.
ReplyDeleteIf the effects last longer than 4 hours, consult a physician....
ReplyDeleteThe perfect beverage to go with your Hungry-Man dinner.
